Love Your Natural Hair

During this Girl Chat, “The Real” ladies are encouraging all girls to embrace the hair they were born with… whether it’s straight, curly, koily or kinky! Watch as the hosts get REAL about their own hair journeys and how they learned to love every strand.

Curly hair isn't the issue. It's tight coily and kinky hair that is just now being celebrated. And only just now being brought mainstream

Its very interesting to me how these women can speak about embracing natural hair and sit there with their weaves and wigs. Especially Tamar with that blonde wig on her head. A message to Loni: wearing curly wigs doesn't make you a naturalista all of a sudden. The only one who can get a pass is Tamera. Out of the three black women on the panel, she is the only one who has come on set with her natural curls embraced. The hypocrisy is "REAL" and since this show claims to keep it real. I "Twitter Dare" ALL the host: INCLUDING JEANNIE AND ADRIENNE to come and do an entire episode with their REAL (untexturied, unstraightened, unprocessed unmanipulated) hair. Meaning. No clipins no extensions no crochet braids no flat irons. And I hope the hosts see this comment and if they choose to refuse this dare, acknowledge why.

Usually when people refer to beautiful curly hair , they have in mind looser curls like on Tamera or Adrienne, tighter curls are still frowned upon. Also Tamar and Loni would never be caught on and off the show with their natural hair texture so their message is a bit insincere.

Most of you don't understand that weaves and wigs are forms of protective styling. Black women cant wake up in the morning, brush their hair and go. It takes time to style our hair because of the many curl patterns we have. It's especially difficult for the kinky curly ladies because you can't just get up and go. Weaves require you to braid the hair underneath (which is a protective style) and you don't have to do much to it. Wigs also require no effort at all, just slap it on there like Loni does. Most of you also have to understand that the African hair isn't accepted in society, it's not considered beautiful, Tamera has the acceptable type of curls because she is mixed... if Loni and Tamar actually did come on the show with their natural hair most of you in the comments would be picking at them anyways so please take many seats...

I applaud them for touching the subject of embracing your natural hair but I feel like they just as many other public figures still miss the point. It's the "Do as I say not as I do mentality." Kids are smart and women especially mothers have to be a living example for their little girls. You cant say love your curls and your hair is beautiful when you have the exact same hair as these little girls but they never see it because its always under a weave or wig. Kids only feel the way they do because they don't see enough people with their hair in its natural curly state in the media.

Wow what a contradiction. The funny thing is they are celebrating "curly" hair (loose curls). However "kinky" hair is not in the conversation or seen as beautiful.

[@Kelly-rs8ut]

No one there is wearing their natural curly hair, so I’m not here to hear anything they have to say

[@ishtaroshun7429]

Curly hair and kinky hair isn't that same

[@anuoluwapoomotayo7433]

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD FOREVER PLEASE LET US ALL REPENT AND SURRENDER OUR LIFES TO JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS US ALL IN JESUS PRECIOUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN

[@DearKeith]

I've always loved Adrienne's curly hair.

I LOVE my Natural Hair..!!

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Natural hair is absolutely beautiful! Healthy hair is good hair. Don't let anyone shame you for what you are naturally. If you are a curly girl like me, feel blessed and rock those locs!! =.)

[@ChristalJ]

If you're natural fine. If you're not that's fine too. If you're not confident with your natural hair that's fine. If you are that's fine too. Do what makes you feel confident. When I started wearing my natural hair it gave me confidence. But weave also gives me confidence. If you're more comfortable wearing weave don't let someone make you feel bad if that's what you think makes you look good. Everyone is insecure about something.

I did that for my daughter she is natural and my hair at the time was permed she asked me why do my hair not looks like hers. She then told me that the kids at school call her ugly because her hair is kinky. I told her to embrace her curls and I realized I needed to take my own advice so I cut off my permanent end and when I showed her she was shocked and so happy she then said mom your hair is like mine then gave me a hug. I needed to show her to embrace her beauty. Ain't nothing wrong with being natural my natural is beautiful. Loving yourself and being happy with yourself starts with you first. I love this show, the ladies have a positive view on life.

Just cus u see a black girl with a straight haired wig, doesn't mean she is self hating. I'm east african with naturally long straight hair, and people must learn that african hair is in-fact extremly diverse!! There are naturally born blonde and gingers among us..

[@LovelyLexP]

I feel a lot of people calling them hypocrites don't understand that embracing your natural hair is just now becoming "socially acceptable." Many people grew up during a time when you were expected to have your hair straight. I've had older women criticize my natural hair before but I didn't get offended because I understand that it's not really their fault that they don't view curly hair as beautiful.

[@rosykhan590]

I can relate to jeanie, I have straight hair and I've always loved curly hair. I think its beautiful!

[@snagershags]

I love that there talking about a curly hair struggle meanwhile they refuse to discuss lovin afro kinky hair. it's easy to love curly hair and wear a curly wig but it's hard to love afro kinky hair because its never shown on the media

[@coollikebeans]

I aint NEVER seen Tamar's natural hair

[@KayaBea]

How you gon teach your kids to love their hair if you wear weave all the time?! Hiding behind these "protective styles" is a lie. Because if you really love your texture you'd get braids, twists, kinky wigs and weaves.
